Internship Opportunities at Amazon Conservation

Amazon Conservation is a creative, hard-working, team-oriented conservation organization and we welcome interns with the same qualities.

Our internships are highly competitive and typically offered to candidates with specialized skills, relevant experience, and good language skills (but see each internship for detailed specifics).

In addition to a hands-on internship experience, interning at Amazon Conservation gives you the opportunity to learn about nonprofit management and a chance to contribute to the conservation of one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world.

Current internship opportunities at our Washington, DC office:

We offer three internship cycles a year:

Winter: January to May
Summer: June to August
Fall: September to December

Specific dates flexible, internships remain the same from cycle to cycle.

Internship schedules are flexible and all are encouraged to apply, but preference will be given to interns who can commit at least two full days a week in the office.*

*Note that this requirement is not applicable during COVID-19, as all of our staff are currently working remotely.

Most internships are unpaid; if you are seeking credit for this internship, we are happy to work with you and your school. Please refer to the specific internship listing for details regarding the availability of funding for the position you are interested in.

To apply, please follow the instructions in the internship description and send all documents to applications@amazonconservation.org Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; internships are open until filled.

Thank you for your interest in joining our team!
